AN oMlNoUs BULLETIN,
Sr. M.-Thia day in the history Of Mr..
Beecher's sickness has been marked by
frequent fluctuations within narrow limits.
The rate Of neither pulse, temperature nor
respiration has long been constant, The
pulse has on the whole increased In ran.
idity, once rising to III, and now marking
ITO. The rate Of respiration Is now
40. Tho temperature has varied
between l0l md Its present point,
90!' In general, 1t may be said that bis
condition is worse than at any previous
time. The character OF the pulse has
changed. 1t Is now dicrotic-tumultuous
indicating failure OF heart power. The
respirations have increased in frequency,
and are more iInpeded by greater accumu.
latlons Of mucous than yesterday, though
not 10 30 great degree as on Saturday
forenoon. The temperature, taken every
two hours, has not been the samo on any
two successive occasiona II Is impossible
toconclude with any approach 10 certainty
whether death will come by asphyxia,
failure OF the respiratory centres, or from
para!ysis OF the heart, orboth; or, as has
been stated, from recurrence OF hemofr-
hage. It's therefore obviously impossible
to indicate the probable time OF the ter.
mination OF the diaeaRe. 1t is, however,
the opinion OF the physician that the limit
will be reached tonight. It is un-
necessary to add that Mr.. Beecher is en-.
tirely unconscious and suffers no pain.
Doubtless his condition is that Of one In a

nary ecene took place at the weekly meet
ing Of the Congregational ministers this

the aickness from which Henry Wsrd
Baccher 10 believed to be dying, and the
statement Of some Of the pastors present
took the shspe OF resolutions OF condo.
lence which 1t was proposed to send to
Mrs. Beecher by telegraph. This was op.
posed by a number of ministers, the oppo,
sition being based on the alleged hetro.
doxy Of Mr.. Beecher's views regarding
future salvation and punishment. An &C,
rimonious debate ensued, and finally tho
motion to adopt the resolutions Was lost,
Groat excitement prevailed, and the ut.
most efforts were mado to keep the affai,
from the newspapers. &fe
The resolutions were offered by the
Rev. E. +. Williams. Of South church.
The principal ground for opposition was
Mr.. Beecher's views on tho future state,
and Dr.. E...P. Goodwin among others con.
tended that II the meeting as q body, sent
resolutions OF coincidence to tho dying
preacher, their action might ha construed
into m opinion favorable to his thcologi.

attack male, however. One minister
arose and stated that he would not extend

with immortality and had never cleared
himself OF the charge. The friends OIL

when be had to lay down the shield, and

to be no more battles. He was Just float
